Dog Walking De Soto

“Jessica and Matthew took care of my dog Olive with afternoon walks. They were so wonderful - from coming to meet her before we started, to always being on time, to being caring and clear communicators. I felt 100% comfortable with them and the care they gave Olive. Highly, highly recommend them for any pet care needs!”

About: I think what sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I am a very active and attentive person. I love spending quality time and really enjoy keeping myself busy. I have had years of watching family friends pets and feel very confident taking care of animals, as I also have one of my own. I am currently working full time 9-6PM, but come this fall I am moving and completely starting over! I am looking to just have some fun and live life to the fullest! My routine for the first few months in my new place will be very loose scheduled and laid back. I am a very tidy and clean person. I often find myself leaving a place better than I found it! To some that may be annoying, but to a pet owner, I think they would always love a little extra help around the house and knowing they would be coming back to a nice clean place. I also am a very empathetic person, and would want to treat any pet, the way I treat my own.

About: ⚠️Please Note⚠️: I am working through lunch now- July 31st 2026. So I’ll mainly be able to watch cats as of now. If your pet is able to hold their potty from 8:00am-5:00pm then please still message me. Ihave my own little fury friend which I walk, take to the restroom, handle her food and water daily needs for the past 6 years. I have house/pet sat for over 18 owners, and sat more than 25 dogs, and 10 cats. I like to leave things as I found them, or better if I can. Also, great with cats, fish, and used to own 2 turtles as well and wouldn’t mind watching your turtles or any additional pets, just shoot me a message and see! I work from 8am-5pm, M-F, I have a few hobbies but other than that I’m sitting! If your pet is able to be let out every 5 hours then our schedules should align perfectly. PLEASE NOTE: If your pet needs to be let out before 6:00am I will not be able to provide services for you. I am currently only available to house/ dog sit at your location because I stay with my mom, and although we do have our own dog, that’s all she can handle at a time 🤗

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter/house sitter (3+ yrs) who is passionate about making pets feel safe and comfortable when I’m watching them! 🤗🐶 I am also an active person, so long walks (5+ miles), farm animal needs, or pet medical needs are totally okay with me. I take pride in being able to make my furry friends feel special and enriched during my time with them, so I frequently have clients tell me that their fur babies miss me when I leave! I am also a neat person who is up for completing any household tasks/chores while I’m watching your space. Outside of pet sitting, I have am a masters student (MPP) and researcher, which means I am in the office only occasionally: Mon-Thur, 10am-4pm (~6hrs) Federal Holidays I am off of work. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to come home for a quick potty break in the middle of the day! I am a very responsible, clean, and honest person who prioritizes communication and safety when I am watching your fur babies or your home. I understand the trust that my clients give me to watch over their homes and pets is very very sacred, and I am honored to give my clients the best possible experience. I frequently send updates (i.e. pictures/videos of my activities with the pets, weather reports if there are storms, etc.). I am also available by phone 24/7 for clients to reach out. I am flexible and open to completing household tasks (i.e. watering plants, cleaning, etc.) if need be.

I have worked with young dogs, old dogs, anxious dogs, and outgoing dogs. I have a lot of free time this summer that I spend at home, so taking care of pets is my main focus throughout the week. At both my home and your home, I can take your dog for walks, play fetch, and let them relax. I can bathe and brush dogs, too. I have an energetic dog who loves new friends if your dog likes companions, and I can also keep our dogs separated if need be.

I’m down for walks, drop ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re gone. I know everyone takes care of their pets a little differently, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine or instructions you leave for me. I’ll make sure they’re fed, safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention, and I can always send pics and updates!

About: I have experience with small and large dogs. I have grown up with dogs in my family and have learned the needs that are specific to certain breeds. I have walked Morkies, Boxers, Rottweilers, Black Labs, Havanese, and many other breeds of dogs. I can handle energetic puppies and dogs since I have had experience with them in the past. I have walked small dogs and large dogs for other families before. I also enjoy taking the dogs I have or watch to the dog park to play fetch or play with other dogs in a leash-free setting. I also have some experience training my own dogs and tips I have picked up along the way for certain dog behaviors. I can handle baths and light grooming if needed. I work from home a large chunk of the week, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to feed, walk, and care for your pet(s) as needed! I have a sweet 7 year old pup and 6 month old pup that can keep your pup company if staying with me! Otherwise, I can watch your fur baby at your home with no issues! I can also crate and reinforce their training if needed!

About: I’ve lived in a pet friendly home my entire life and helped with the daily care of pets. I have also helped to train our new puppy. I am a student so during the summer I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work on weekdays and most weekends, giving me plenty of time to take great care of your pets!

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!

About: With four years of experience, I provide safe, attentive, and loving care, always taking the time to understand each pet's unique routine, dietary needs, and personality. I truly enjoy working with both young and senior pets, whether that means going on walks, playing, or gently helping shy pets feel more comfortable and confident. I'm dependable, responsible, and committed to keeping you updated, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time for all your furry friends! My schedule will change once college classes start in September. My backyard is fully fenced in and I don’t have any pets. I'm a non-smoker, have my own transportation, and will be happy to follow any instructions you have!

About: I grew up around all types of pets, from dogs to birds to lizards to cats. For as long as I've known, I've fed bearded dragons crickets and ran alongside happy pups. I absolutely love animals, and am happy and willing to work within any routines and structures pre-set for your pets. As a recent college graduate, my time is very flexible - I'm available for whenever you need me. I'm dedicated to clear and open communication about my time. Providing you and your pet with the least stressful pet care experience possible is my goal. I'd love to meet your pet, learn their routines, quirks, and learn anything that's required for their care and your peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who knows that every pup deserves plenty of love, attention, and exercise.

I’ll also provide fresh water, potty breaks, and lots of affection so they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: My style is playful, caring, and conscientious :) In addition to growing up with two silly sweet pugs and two cozy cuddly cats, I've spent the last two years as a nanny and pet sitter for a family with two fantastic dogs. They are part of the family and have become part of mine! I'm looking to find some more fur babies to give some love to which would also help me save up for grad school. Hoping to snuggle and care for some sweet kitties this summer and/or provide play breaks and walks for your pups! My schedule is widely flexible and I am eager to make myself available to your pets' needs and home! Your comfort is my highest priority. I cannot care for animals in my home, but I will treat yours with the utmost respect and care if I were to stay with your furry friends there. I think you'll find I am an incredibly dependable, neat, respectful, and caring individual. If you'd like to shoot a text or make a call to people I've worked for in the past, I'd be happy to provide phone numbers and references!

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes, and have always had a few by my side. Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked with a wide range of species—from small exotics to giant breed dogs—in both home and clinical settings. I’m especially drawn to pets with behavioral or special care needs. I have hands-on experience working with fearful or shut-down dogs, feral and semi-feral cats, and animals in high-stress environments, including shelter animals, wildlife rehabilitation and a variety of veterinary clinic settings. My approach is patient, low-stress, and tailored to each individual animal. I have been a veterinary assistant for the past 8 years and am currently working toward becoming a veterinary technician. This background allows me to recognize subtle changes in health or behavior, safely handle more sensitive pets, and provide a higher level of attentive, informed care. For walks, I tailor each outing to your dog’s energy level and comfort, focusing on safe, structured exercise. For drop-in visits, I focus on more than just the basics. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine, reducing stress while you’re away, and making sure they’re not only cared for, but comfortable. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, oral medications, and providing calm, consistent handling for pets that may not do well with new people. For house sitting/pet sitting, I provide the same care as my drop in’s with longer stays to give your pets more time, attention, and consistency, but I do not offer overnight stays. I aim to provide the same level of care and attention I would expect for my own pets—reliable, observant, and tailored to their individual needs. With my current schedule I am able to make short morning, and afternoon visits, as well as multiple evening visits. Adjustments made on a case to case basis. I do not stay over night. Outside of feeding, replacing water, walking/taking care of litter boxes, I like to stay for at least 30 minutes. If your kiddo is more anxious with me there I will limit the time I spend visiting. I get in as much snuggle and play time as they want in our time together,

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, especially large breeds like German Shepherds and St. Bernards, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’m also a professional dog groomer with two years of experience, which has helped me understand dog behavior and care on a deeper level. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments and energy levels! I’ve dog sat for family and friends many times, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved while they’re away. I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I work 10-hour shifts with three days off each week, but I always make time to ensure your pets are well cared for, including walks, potty breaks, and attention. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently work part time and nanny on the side. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I work 9-5. I am usually available for sure Saturdays and Sundays. Tuesdays and Thursdays I nanny till 12 so I’m available anytime after that, but I always will find time to play, feed and let your dogs out to go potty! I will care for your pets as I care for my own. Animals hold a very dear place in my heart so I will treat them like my own and take care of them to my best abilities from walking them to playing with them outside.
